Stop. Removing. Sniper. Positions. From. Long. Range. Maps

Would be pointless as the majority just drive straight towards the middle until they meet the enemy team.

The simples anty spawn camping solution → make all shooting spawn take the same amount of damage basically mirror shots.
As for air as above plus → make not killable (only disable for lets say 30s) AAA batteries that can be used for players that can no longer spawn (also make them in places they cant shoot at ground vehicles)

But as long as maps are butchered into flat kill zones with every spot/flank/hill etc redzoned/cut/blocked we the game will only degrade to hold W to spawn sniping.
Dont know how incompetent or out of touch with your own game flow you have to be to make all this changes we have to maps. And we only have 1 map ban…
Made a suggestion to revert maps to the way they were at introducing them at least there we could counter 99% of problems on them not like now - was completely ignored not even posted.

They only cares about 70+$ premium sales game is detoriating faster and faster to unplayable state with many not touch since ages problems. But hey new copy paste 2a4 or fomo event or shinty top tier premium to buy…

That is complex, and can be very easily abused. You would have to prevent shooting into spawn from anywhere, because someone could just camp in a spawn and be unkillable.

Spawncamping can only be fixed by well designed maps.

Many tanks are not suitable for close combat

nobody is forcing us to play this maps. Just leave. You see a map you dont like or is not suiting your playstyle. Leave. take the penelty and roll again untill you get a map you like.

Change will not come from crying on the forum. As long as you and others play the maps ther eis no need for change. You play you pay all is fine. Its not first time this kind of thread shows up. Its from day 1 of WT tanks.

Only when teh statstics get down, when people complain that to many leave no matches happening then action will be taken. Can be negative can be postive. I guess it will be negativ ewith bigger peneltys but chnage comes also not free. Find more likeminded people. Do the same all the time.

It is as simple as that but dont think anything changes just because of one post without YOU and others doing something for it.

I do that sometimes. Gaijin can’t make me spawn on Sands of Sinai in an uptier from 7.7, and they can’t make me play seversk for the 3rd time in a session.

It doesn’t help that the map rotation is so bad, and that so many maps are common, while others are nonexistent.

Pretty sure one of the main reasons they removed those spots was because people didn’t play the map, and just CONSTANTLY sat there every single time. Basically instead of boring camping spots, they want us to try new things. I personally think that’s an improvement.

People did play the map how they preferd it now gajin is forcing a playstyle they dont like. Fun is relative.

You would think The decline in battles would make them start listening to the player base.

“they want us to try new things”

And what can try a light tank on a flat map against armored if nowhere to hide and scout/shot ?
Did you already try to face a T-80 or Obj 292 with a CV9040 at 1km ? A Strv 74 vs a Tiger II ? A Bradley vs a Leo ?

Even though it is squished I bet you that most still stuck to a spawn to cap route. Yes there is even less room bit people won’t generally even fill out that.

The majority changed is all, players did not want anything but the fun from simplistic engagements.

Just ask the players in matches when you are the only one not lemming training/they all rushing to a close cap as if that helps for 20 players to be in one spot. What I learned was I was now a massive minority trying to get more out of it than a wham-bam-thankyou-mam shooter (yes it is a shooter, but I waa always able to avoid just being in a homogenous brawl and cqc camp group.

Only made it to 8.0ish but most BRs seemed to follow this same pattern. You can’t fault a company from focusing on a majority when it os a business and not a passion project (maybe initial air was).

If whole team sat there than its easy win for other side. If some players sat there without doing anything useful they should let them sit there if they wont. Its their loss.

Point is those spots could be used to gain advantage in main target of the game which is terrain control. Without terrain control one team cannot capture and keep cap point(s) long enough to win. And since average WT players have tactical/situational awareness of dead cat they removed those spots.

They just gonna slap “holiday season” on this and dont care since premiums sells good

A prime example of why conquest should be completely removed in my opinion.

Abandoned Factory is where I notice this the most. Every single game a large majority only goes A, even though that is the most exposed route. Even then, they don’t capture the objective, they just sit around it.

Happens every time. I can usually cap C all by myself because reds are doing the same thing.

And they did it again…

  • Carpathians — a position behind the spawn points in squares G3/G4 from where players could fire from a safe position over a long distance have been blocked.

That here shows how out of touch you devs are from your own game
This spot was easly contered even from the spawn tank there is so visible its besicaly free kill Also that was the way to counter hill. You just made north side instant win like you did with Sinay one side is now isntant win.

Stop removing/redzoning map features/spots/etc this is not the way to balance game.
If you want map for dumb players made them 2sq arena as additional game mode.
God this game is going downfall so badly now… wth happen and who is responsible for all this terrible changes…???

As I don’t see Karelia from more one week now, I guess we can be prepared to another “massive destruction”!

Anyone mad about that change is just mad that they can’t access an OP spot anymore.

It allowed you to shoot at players right at the start of the match, and many of those players were just leaving spawn. The other spawn had no effective counter to someone hiding behind a rock.

Why tf do people think every map change is bad??? Even the ones that remove OP spots are bad because “muh sniping (camping) spot”

Op spot??? Do you even play this game??? you are visible from enemy spawn and its so high you are just shoot me here sign since there is nothing than blue sky behind you you stick out so bad.
You have to be blind tunelvision W holder lover that lemmingtrain to middle cap to not notice tank there. But i guess ppl like you are responsible for all that crying that makes maps corridor arcade shooter. Also hill A (that this spot was one of counter for it) completely locking down entire map is fine for you?
